INSTALLING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER  
Installing in a casement window  
Since styles and sizes of casement windows  
vary widely, it is advisable to have the air  
conditioner installed by someone skilled in  
this type of installation. Your appliance  
dealer can recommend or supply qualified  
people to install your air conditioner.  
1. Closed or stationary windows: Install  
unit in stationary sash to avoid crank  
handles or window latches. If unit is to be  
installed in or next to a movable sash, it  
may be necessary to remove catch,  
handle, or both. Remove crank handle  
and secure window in closed position.  
Remove glass panes and horizontal  
mountings to a height sufficient to  
mount unit.  
3. A filler panel will be required at the side of  
the air conditioner when installed in win-  
dows having width greater than 1512".  
Filler panel should be made from 34" thick  
wood securely anchored to one side of  
the opening so that a 1512" wide opening  
is provided. The filler panel should run the  
full length of the window. Paint to suit.  
4. Install the air conditioner in the same  
manner as described for sliding  
windows.(See “Installing in a sliding  
window” on page 9.)  
2. Open window frame: Remove crank  
mechanism and catch handles. Fold the

OR  
WARNING  
If you are familiar with electrical appliances,  
you can do the cleaning and maintenance  
yourself. If you choose to do so, follow these  
steps:  
1. Unplug air conditioner or disconnect  
power.  
2. Remove the air conditioner from the  
window channel frame and off of the  
support platform.  
Electrical Shock Hazard  
3. Remove the front panel. (See page 15.)  
Disconnect power before doing any  
maintenance.  
4. Remove the screws from the top and  
sides of the cabinet, and then remove the  
cabinet.  
5. Wrap the motor, electrical control box,  
and compressor terminal box in plastic  
film to make sure no water or other liquid  
gets inside. Water or other liquids could  
damage the insulation and cause serious  
mechanical problems.  
Do not drink water collected by the air  
conditioner.  
Failure to follow these instructions  
can result in death, electrical shock,  
or sickness.  
WARNING  
6. Clean and hose out the base, coils, and  
condensate pan. Clean at least once a  
year, or more often if the condenser coils  
and pan collect dirt, sand, leaves, insects,  
or algae. Also, clean if you detect an odor  
coming from the air conditioner. Do not  
use the water collected in the air condi-  
tioner for drinking purposes. It is not  
sanitary.  
Excessive Weight Hazard  
Use two or more people to move and  
install air conditioner.  
Failure to do so can result in back or  
other injury.  
Your air conditioner needs annual  
maintenance to help ensure steady, top  
performance throughout the year.  
Call the service company recommended  
by your dealer to:  
Inspect and clean the coils and conden-  
sate water passages.  
Check fan and fan motor.  
7. Remove the plastic film from the motor  
and electrical parts.  
8. Reattach the cabinet with the screws.  
Replace the front panel, and reinstall the  
air conditioner.  
9. Plug in air conditioner or reconnect  
power.  
The compressor is sealed and needs no  
oiling. The expense of an annual inspection  
is the customer’s responsibility.  
NOTE: It is a good idea to wait 24 hours  
before starting the air conditioner again. This  
allows time for all areas to dry out. The  
water from rainfall or from normal operation  
does not harm these components.  
17  
 
CARING FOR YOUR AIR CONDITIONER  
Understanding normal operating sounds  
When your air conditioner is operating  
normally, you will hear sounds such as:  
Droplets of water hitting the condenser,  
causing a “pinging” or “clicking” sound.  
Water droplets help to cool the condenser.  
Air movement from the fan, especially on  
high fan speed settings.  
Clicks from the thermostat cycle.  
Sounds also may be caused by house  
construction – such as vibration of the unit  
due to wall construction or unsteady window  
mounting area.  
Saving energy  
You can help save energy by following the  
tips below.  
Improve your home’s insulation. Seal all  
doors and windows. Close the  
fireplace flue.  
Close all blinds and drapes on sunny sides  
of the house. Add window awnings.  
Keep the air filter clean.  
Do not block the airflow with drapes or  
furniture.  
Ventilate the attic. High temperatures in  
the attic add to the air conditioner’s  
cooling load.  
Try not to use heat-producing appliances  
during the hottest part of the day.  
Turn off lights and appliances when they  
are not needed.  
Keep heat registers and cool-air  
returns closed.  
Use exhaust venting fans when cooking,  
doing laundry, or bathing.
